Client Testimonials:
"I started working with Sue last fall during
the process of upgrading my financial planning business practice. My goals in
working with Sue were to 1) define and narrow my target market 2) double my
production 3) decrease the number of hours worked and 4) increase my
personal and business enjoyment of life. From my first phone call with Sue, I
immediately felt a connection with her. I feel we have accomplished several
objectives already. Sue helped me define exactly what my target market is
demographically. Starting with this it makes it a lot easier designing
marketing plans to gain new clients. We have come up with numerous "marketing
channels" to diversity how I am attracting new clients. We have also arrived at
strategies to track progress on my goals. I am presently up approximately 50%
in my business. I can easily visualize my marketing and business
practice snowballing by the third quarter."

"When I first heard Sue speak on a teleseminar, I knew
immediately that she had the ability to help me to get
comfortable and clear about who could best benefit from
what I had to offer. Her Finding Your Niche
program seemed tailor made for me. I knew that I
wanted to work with health professionals but I wanted to
help everyone, a feat that was nearly impossible to
start with. Sue helped me get comfortable with
focusing on an audience that I most resonated with, and
with whom I had the most in common. She also
helped me to realize that it's OK to be the big fish in
a little pond rather than trying to be the little fish
in the big pond. Sue's supportive and consistently
positive attitude never faltered. I highly
recommend Sue as a coach. Her style, wisdom, and
experience are such that anyone who comes in contact
with her will grow without a doubt." M. R.
Adesanya, DDS Owner,

Healthcarepreneurs
"In comparing Sue as a coach to other
individuals I have encountered, she is hands-down the best. Sales, marketing,
and personal branding were extremely foreign to me, and Sue's work has been
vital to my business. Each weekly coaching session has a specific objective,
and throughout the sessions, Sue allows me the freedom to get off-track, but
reels me in at the right time Most importantly, at the end of each session, Sue
has questions of me, relative to the session, that after we conclude the call,
I sit at my desk and simply say 'wow'." L. Brian McCabe, CPA, CFP,
MSF The McCabe Financial Group Inc.
"I had the passion and the vision to run my own
business; however, I was really lacking in areas such as
branding, processes and viable revenue streams. You took my unfocused drive and gave me direction to
turn things around. The results are speaking for
themselves. I went from working 10-12 hours per
day to working much closer to 8 and earning 3 times what
I used to!" Catherine L. Maley President
and Senior Marketing Strategist

"I realized I had to make some major changes ... I had
to specialize. While I was a little hesitant, Sue kept me
accountable and helped me develop my brand, ‘The Financial
Strategist for Northern Colorado Educators.' To my
delight, almost immediately new opportunities came as a
result of my new brand, including speaking opportunities
that I would only have dreamed of before."

"I have high praise for Sue
Rasmussen's marketing coaching. As a new coach, one of the
issues I have been facing
is whether there is a market for what I have to offer. Sue took a complex topic
like marketing and helped me break in down into manageable pieces. I now have
key statements to use to prospect new clients and a plan to incorporate these
messages
into my marketing
materials. She helped me "own" the process and I now have a solid sense of what
I
am trying to do with this
business and more optimism about where I want my coaching practice to go. I
already have a new client as a result and have been able to help the client
identify and narrow down her own market, product and service offering using the
techniques and marketing models Sue taught me. Sue's enthusiasm is contagious
and her approach refreshing. She has helped me develop a foundation to build my
marketing materials upon. EXCELLENT! Somehow she has made a scary business
driver fun."

"Sue is by far the best
instructor I have had. I thoroughly enjoy how she shares her vast experience and
how she is able to make everyone in the class feel valued and special. I will
look for the courses that she teaches, so that I might be able to sign up for
more of her teaching in the future!"

"Start to finish--all four
weeks--Sue was a rich resource of knowledge and encouragement on a topic
(marketing) that I thought I already knew well. It's easy to tell when an
instructor knows her "stuff" vs. one who's winging it. Sue knows her stuff and
does an excellent job of teaching. Sue is the best instructor I have
encountered--bar none. Keep up the good work, Sue. You are helping so many of us
improve our skills."

"Another great class! I have a much better understanding of
what I need to take into account when getting the word out about teleclasses I
want to offer. There were so many suggested resources, I haven't had time
to review them all yet, but they all seem to be amazingly helpful! In
addition to the resources, Sue has a wonderful ability to help participants
expand on thoughts shared...I just got so much out of this class! Thanks
Sue!!!"

"I absolutely loved this class!! Sue has an amazing ability
to get us to explore our understandings more deeply, and get to new levels. The models presented during the 4 weeks were extremely helpful, and the visual
representation of the concepts helped me bring the course material to life.
The marketing options available to me greatly expanded during the 4 weeks—could have easily been an 8 week class!! Sue's enthusiasm for the topic is
unquestionable, and I also learned a lot from the way she modeled coaching
skills. Extremely valuable class! Thank you!!!"

knowledgeable teleclass leader. Her manner reduced any anxiety that
could be associated with marketing. Her knowledge base was outstanding,

everyone!"
Barbara Van Sant

"Sue was instrumental in getting me to focus
on my business plan and define my target market. Most importantly, she helped
me to learn certain things about myself (strengths and weaknesses) that are
essential to my future success. Perhaps most impressively, she turned me from a
skeptic into a believer in the coaching process. I found the work we did (and
Sue's demeanor) to be motivating and uplifting." Dom Fanuele, ChCF Your
Money Matters Brokerage Services, Inc.
"This was my first time having Sue as a teleclass leader, and she
was absolutely fabulous! Gave great tools and insights, and developed great
trust and rapport with the class—to the extent we were even willing to jump in
and practice our 'still rough around the edges' elevator speeches. Thank you so
much Sue! Hope to have you again on another call!"

"I loved this class! Sue created an atmosphere of warmth and
safety with a subject matter that strikes fear in my hear and that of many. The
class was hugely informative, really got me motivated and gave me tools with
which to move forward in a way that is comfortable. Sue's willingness to give us
information was awesome and always done in an enthusiastic, supportive, and oh
so giving manner. I am looking forward to more classes with Sue,
connecting with her fabulous energy and spirit."

"I have worked with coaches and mentors over
the past 15 years, and Sue is the first coach I have worked with that I truly
feel understands my business and my personal characteristics and is willing to
help me utilize my strengths. Sue's level of experience and maturity allows her
to transfer her confidence in what she knows to her clients so they may enjoy
the same confidence, so that the strategy is personalized and
fits." Donald A. Todd, ChFC, CLU President Oregon Pacific Financial
Advisors, Inc.
"Sue has helped me to answer difficult
questions like, "What makes me and my business unique?" and, "Who are my ideal
clients?" I felt from the very beginning that Sue identified strongly with me,
and knew what I was going through in the difficult process of turning myself
and my business inside-out for inspection. She has helped me to focus on the
strong points of what we found, so that I can be clearer with my clients about
what benefits they get from working with me. I have truly benefited from the
clarity of vision and action towards which she has coached me."

"I hired Coach Sue Rasmussen to support me in
the development of my coaching business. Since that time, she has worked with
me on business start-up and marketing strategy, clarifying business goals and
objectives, defining needs and wants so that I would make effective decisions,
and opening my eyes to possibilities. She has also served as a model coach, and
many of my takeaways are from learning through her example. She has also shared
useful coaching techniques, approaches, and concepts, which I use with my
clients today.
I am grateful for the coaching she has provided me. She
has helped me to see that I have the answers. She believed in me, and has
taught me to believe in myself. She has played a large role in my development
over the past year, and has helped me gain confidence in my capabilities.
Starting a company is tough to do alone, but having a coach like Sue has made
it possible for me to do it and stick with it." Doriann Petranek Career Development Coach
"I was a student in a teleclass Sue led...I
was so impressed with her leading that I hired her to be my coach immediately
after the class ended. Since that time, she has coached me in creating my ideal
career and in moving forward in that pursuit. In addition, she has helped me to
move past obstacles and eliminate distractions. During her coaching of me, she
has displayed the right amount of encouragement and accountability.
She
has really helped me to clarify my vision and make that a possibility. I have
gone from a point of having no idea what my ideal career was to identifying and
creating a new business. I would have been nowhere near this point without her
help. Sue has helped me to identify my potential, skills, talents, gifts and
values and parlay these into an appropriate career."
Sandy Pierce Coach
"Before I started working with business and
personal coach Sue Rasmussen, I thought I had my career sewn up. I couldn't
have been more wrong.
My first encounter with Sue set the course for my
personal journey of self-discovery. Sue gave an abbreviated coaching workshop
for members of the Phoenix branch of the International Association of Business
Communicators. During the program, she asked each of us, "What is your
passion?" No one had ever asked me that before! I turned this question over and
over in my mind. I finally realized my answer - and it wasn't exactly what I
was doing at the present time.
Disconcerting as this was, I decided to
join one of Sue's three-month group coaching sessions. These sessions have
changed my life. My goal was to develop an action plan to catapult me into my
ideal career - although at the time, I wasn't quite sure I knew what that was.
Through a variety of exercises, group support and feedback, I discovered the
answer to building a successful career based upon my passion and true love for
professional speaking. Sue also gave me the tools to maintain personal
relationships.
While this was my first foray into hiring a professional
coach, I couldn't be more pleased with the results. Working with Sue, I have
learned how to: 1) set my boundaries for greater clarity, self-esteem,
understanding and communication, 2) design a career plan that is built upon my
passion and true values, 3) set my internal compass "due north," and always
strive for the best possible outcome in any challenging situation and 4) become
a better coach and mentor to others through her example. Indeed, Sue has helped
me "kick up the dust" in my life, and make sense of the confusion, anxiety and
self-doubt that comes with making decisions outside of my comfort zone.
" Tina Miller-Steinke Director of Corporate
Communications"Working with you during my career transition
has been life altering. Everything in me has always been there, I just needed
to tap into it.
I realized that I'm strong, independent and in full
control of my life. There are countless ways I've benefited from our coaching
but the most important benefit was realizing that everything I need to succeed,
I already have. No longer do I say to myself I can't do something, because I
know I can.
The most important contribution of our coaching was helping
me through getting laid off. People were amazed that I didn't fall
apart
this is the best example of how powerful coaching can be--and in a
very short time." Lisa Sperry External Communications
Consultant
"I've become stronger as it relates to
managing, connecting and working with other people, both personally and
professionally. I also feel myself taking charge of what I want and making
things happen for myself and it feels great!
In the past, I hadn't given
myself much credit for my accomplishments, people skills, and intuitive
nature...our calls have pulled out those nuggets, and I'm finding that has been
a gift and an opportunity. My environment was also holding me back - I was
trying to fly and wasn't being given wings. I didn't realize that I had the
ability to take control of my career, and now I've done it!"
